Ezekiel 17:13-16 And he took of the king`s seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land;

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And he took of the king`s seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land; ¹⁴ that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand. ¹⁵ But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? ¹⁶ [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die.
